When I was growing up, there was this thing called "The Central Coast." Now it is just a memory. In Mafia terms, the division was traditionally Bakersfield. But SoCal spreads like a virus, and the line seems to constantly push north. Interestingly enough, I have never seen so many NorCal stickers in Redding or Sacto as in San Luis Obispo!
